Devyn Michaels, 47, once a well-known adult star in Las Vegas, will spend at least the next 28 years behind bars after being convicted of the horrific murder and decapitation of her ex-boyfriend, the father of their two young daughters, in August 2023.
Prosecutors centered their case on the savage killing that unfolded just as Jonathan Willette, 46, was getting ready to move into Michaels’ home.
Prosecutors played a video of Michaels recalling the crime to police during the trial. She said she had been massaging her ex in his bedroom when she hit him with an item she described as “candlestick-like,” reported KTLA.
In her opening remarks, Michaels claimed she killed Willette out of frustration over how quickly he was moving in with their daughters. The former couple had discussed living together again months earlier, in hopes of “keeping their family together.”

“Her girls are going to die with the knowledge that she killed their father,” Johnathan Willette’s father, James “JC” Willette, told the court.
“That’s where she should be. If you take somebody’s life, you shouldn’t be out running around.”
